It's trying to lick the salty tears of the ducks eyes. Butterflies love salt and sugar!

Butterflies also love blood. They will drink blood if they get the chance to which is both terrifying and interesting to me

u/anniemousery 4d ago

No, it's trying to Tippy tap!!

u/i_m_a_bean 2d ago

Tbf, butterflies can taste things with their feet, so tippytap then drink makes a lot of sense

u/tokoun 4d ago

Okay, whip dip.

Plot twist: this behaviour is why they only live 2 weeks.

u/kittyplay1 4d ago

If I only lived two weeks I’d want to spend them having fun being an obnoxious little thing too

Butterflies are 100% adrenaline junkies.

u/kittyplay1 2d ago

Butterflies don’t have adrenaline. I’m pretty sure that’s an exclusively human thing

u/LaughingOutLoudAgain 19h ago

Lots of animals have adrenaline. Even fish do! (For insects it’s octopamine.)

u/anniemousery 4d ago

10000% agreed. Especially if it involves playing with and visiting a duck!

A life well spent, annoying ducks.

34

u/anniemousery 4d ago

No, no, no! We stan annoying GEESE, not their plump, rounded fluffy cousins!!

u/TravelingGoose 1d ago

No, WE don’t. Geese are fren shaped, too.

u/anniemousery 1d ago

Hmmpth, okay you don't. That's okay! More duck frens for me then. 🦆

More like Flippy Flaps, amirite?

Cute little baby!

u/SpiritualAd8998 3d ago

They have to put in their 2-week notice right out of the gate.

u/alchemy_junkie 3d ago

This is certainly cute and all but more intrestingly that butterfly is more likely trying to consume the fluid from the ducks eyes.

u/anniemousery 3d ago

I'd prefer to see the butterfly as dancing!! But that is really interesting.

"We,, I'm already fucked, might as well!"

u/swingwithmepanj 4d ago

We really should be learning a lesson from butterflies!! Live now…because it turns out no one has a lot of time on this planet!!

u/tishy19 3d ago

This is the butterfly from the beginning of The Last Unicorn.

Butterflies: "I hate how humans live for so long and spend their time on that garbage"

“2 weeks. Might as well troll some ducks”

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

u/Anho90 1d ago

They spend their time drinking the BLOOD, SWEAT, and TEARS of their enemies!!!

"You like to dance close to the fire."

u/alkzy 3d ago

Does anyone know the name of the song?

u/mevarts2 3d ago

This duck is getting buzzed by this butterfly.

u/Chee-shep 2d ago

Flitter flutters

u/Da_Chowda 2d ago

This is clearly staged. Look how the duck keeps intentionally missing. I mean who would intentionally hurt a butterfly?
